MERGED

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Idk what this means

It’s someone who’s 100% right that’s what it means

 

[LA Vol]

Post moved... and deleted.

Nonsense. There are democratic politicians in an all white country club and they still get committee appointments. It'd blow over.

Which has nothing to do with recruiting.

 

[butchna]

If you have to ask you’ll never understand it. But tell me how “I need a slave” is okay to tweet?

Might need the context.

 

[Aesius]

Might need the context.

Yep. What if it was about a sex slave? Kink shaming is not tolerated in 2022. We live in a sex positive society, after all. Might want to cancel the person who tried to cancel her for that tweet.

It has as much to do with recruiting as Kasey Funderberg sideline reporting for the radio. Send the apology and it blows over if you have the guts to let it.

The person that immediately went to find bad tweets is a bigger POS than Kasey could be.

no.

Absolutely, but teenagers do and say really dumb things. And now half of the dumb things they say in person also end up being tweeted, posted, etc

Kids are stoopid. They do stoopid stuff all the time. You shouldn't lose your job because you did something stoopid as a kid. Did she tweet something stoopid? I haven't seen it so I guess so from opinions of people that did see it. But, is she really a racist or did she just do something stoopid when she was becoming an adult?

Weed is losing its mystery and appeal for teens here. I’m not saying they won’t dabble, but it’s kind of like Facebook to them..something for the olds.

Yet meth's never been more popular it seems.

 

[Kristy*]

I’m not saying it’s not a big deal. But she wasn’t hung in the town square (the reference in the post I quoted).

It's a metaphor for her career. So, yes, she was.

 

[MarcoVol]

But she was fired from her job for something she said before she had that job when she was a teenager. How about letting her acknowledge and apologize for the mistake instead? Everyone makes mistakes. People can mature.

Agree, people definitely can mature and everyone does make mistakes.

And maybe some jobs would let her do that. But not this one, as is the business’s right, isn’t it?

 

[RikidyBones]

no.

Bet if she apologized, it would get zero mention on GameDay while Burton will get brought up again. Also bet Burton would get a mention during the Tennessee game before this would.

"Hey Siri, how do you make a white girl resent black culture?"

"Easy. Fire white girls who repeat some of the words from the music that they love"

Won't someone please think of the white girls!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

To be fair though, the cancel culture power on normal people is fairly new (last 6 years?) I'm sure she didn't remember the tweets.

If I was her boss, I'd talk to her about it, have her scrub it, make an apology post and move on. If the post was recent, then that's a different story.

"I was hacked" is also used a lot...but she's not Kevin Durant so maybe she can't go that route?

 

[MarcoVol]

A business doesn’t have to risk their own reputation for an employee, especially in an at-will employment environment.

Doesn’t mean they led the employee to slaughter.

Agreed on all that, but that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying it’s incredibly easy to not find yourself in this particular situation, regardless of how we think it should be handled.

I think this is a very important point that at least here in TN has to be remembered.

Vol Network had something brought to them that they didn't want to deal with so being an at-will state they simply terminated the employee involved with said issue.

I agree. Kids should stay off the social media cesspool.

Rumor has it. Kasey Funderburg got fired. She told people to stop posting the fake account. Someone went and found tweets from when she was 12 where she said the N word. Now her twitter is private and has no mention of the Vol Network.

Her Instagram is now private, too.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

@LA Vol Did Kasey get fired?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

@LA Vol Did Kasey get fired?

All of her info has been scrubbed from TN website.

The police acted based on one guy's unsubstantiated claims. Tank no commented and immediately retained counsel. UT swiftly investigated, reviewed the evidence, evaluated all sides of the story and felt the circumstances didn't warrant the charges filed. So Tank wasn't suspended by UT, allowing him to remain with the team while the student conduct process was completed.

He was cleared by the university, but will not play without admin approval. And while UT and counsel have been working to have the felony charge reduced or dismissed, that has been slow going. The legal hold up is not on UT's side, but the "unavailable to play" is.

Is the “victim” white? Just curious.
